Miami Dolphins Wrap: Seeking an identity

That's the fundamental question most of us get asked, and try to answer our entire lives.

That's the question Miami Dolphins fans should be asking about the 2012 team.

So far Joe Philbin's Dolphins resemble the big, physical team old school football team former czar Bill Parcells promised he'd build. Miami has owned the line of scrimmage in two of the three games they have played this season, and that seems to be Miami's identity.

Can Miami's defensive line rattle Kevin Kolb, who has surprisingly been efficient and consistent in his three games?

Can Sean Smith prove he's a top shelf cornerback, helping the Dolphins secondary contain Larry Fitzgerald? Fitzgerald moves around regularly, Smith doesn't. But they'll matchup from time to time, and Smith needs to prove himself by containing the NFL's premier receiver.

Have Miami's safeties, which are both rated by ProFootballFocus.com as top 10 players at this position, finally turned the corner and become reliable defenders? They'll need to help the defense by tightening up the secondary.
